Since we can't message or communicate easily on Steemit, most people opt for 3rd party communication platforms like Discord.
Here are the types of people you find there.

Disclaimer: This is not meant to offend anyone so don't take this too seriously. I repeat, do not get triggered.

1. The " What country are you from".

I have pulled this line many times and it's the easiest way to start a conversation but it is very generic.

2. The "I have this contest and need votes".

I get it it is a way to get votes for a contest but at least ask me how I am. Sometimes, I do vote for random people who ask but other times it gets annoying.

3. The random link droppers

We are having a great conversation and then you drop me a random link to your latest post. Worse still, I follow you so I will see the post. Can't we just have a genuine conversation without there being an upvote. I have had genuine conversations with people and I am always following them and upvoting them even when they don't ask.

4. The Ghosters

These are the people who are like "I saw your message but I will never respond because I am too Busy". Sigh!

5. The contest people

The "I have an earthshattering contest" people. Directions for the competition: Follow me, resteem this, write a post using #facepalm hashtag, take me on a trip, bring me the sun and win 0.000000008 SBD. It is a chance of a lifetime. Go on tell your friends.

6. The Awesome Peeps

You can have really great conversations and meet some amazing people on the platform. I have made great friends on here especially Team Kenya!
